Trump Says He’s Not Considering Tomahawk Missiles for Ukraine For Now

The stance diverges from Pentagon reviews signaling logistical feasibility as well as from ongoing NATO discussions.

Overview

  • Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, President Trump said he is not currently weighing a Tomahawk transfer but noted his position could change.
  • CNN previously reported Pentagon assessments found a transfer would not unduly strain U.S. stockpiles, leaving the final decision to the president.
  • NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said the proposal remains under review, including a concept for sales to allies who could then pass the missiles to Kyiv.
  • Moscow has warned that delivering Tomahawks to Ukraine would constitute a major escalation and could trigger serious consequences.
  • Tomahawk cruise missiles have a range of roughly 2,500 kilometers, enabling strikes deep into Russian territory.
